ABOUT  US

The International Water Institute was conceived by the International Flood Mitigation Initiative (IFMI) in 2000 (Appendix A). The Institute established an International Management Board in 2001 that was charged with the provision of oversight to the Red River Center for Watershed Education and the Center for Flood Damage and Natural Resource. The management board adopted a set of bylaws that clearly articulate the organizational mission and objectives and the roles of board members and staff (Appendix B). The Institute began working with Tri-College University, a collaborative (501c3) effort between North Dakota State University, Concordia College and University of Minnesota Moorhead to develop an administrative framework that preserved the Institute's International mandate and basin wide scope. Through agreements, Tri-College University provides administrative support and financial accounting to the Institute and serves as the non-profit vehicle for grant proposals.
